Language of Enchantment - GIVING THANKS

Giving Thanks

Lord, I thank You for another year…
A year spent close to you.
I thank You for the many trials
You’ve seen me safely through.

I thank You for a year of health…
For each and every day.
Though sickness knocked upon my door,
Your Word chased it away.

I thank you for my husband, Lord…
Give him a hug or two.
I thank You for the seas You calmed
To anchor us in You.

I thank You for my children, Lord…
Sons strong and daughters fair.
I thank You that You understand
Each time I call their names in prayer.

I thank you for grandchildren, Lord…
And for every little “great.”
Chubby arms and dimpled smiles…
Good cause to celebrate.

I thank you for my family, Lord…
They mean so much to me.
Sisters, brother, nieces, nephews…
Those carved on our family tree.

I thank You for my friends, dear Lord…
The faithful and the true…
Who laugh with me and cry with me…
Then take my needs to You.

I thank You for my pastors, Lord…
For the church You’ve led me to…
Where Your Word goes out to heal my hurts
And builds my faith in You.

I’ve so much to be thankful for…
Just the privilege to pray.
Thanksgiving Day is much too short…
I must give thanks each day.
